Fat is not a feeling

Facebook removes the 'feeling fat' status update, replacing it with 'stuffed'.

Maybe they should replace it with "Looking fat" ?
The media seems to be brimming with items trying to "normalise" overweight people. Good or bad thing?

Re: Fat is not a feeling
If we do ban the fat word.
what do you call fat people?
obese sounds offensive. and big boned didn't stick from the last trial.
overweight is no good when you're talking tons instead of a couple of pounds.

Plenty of alternatives from the lexicon of life. 
Funnily we use the word fat as a name as in "Look at that awful fat"
